Question

light incident on a polarizer is then passed through a second polarizer. if the polarizer and the analyzer are perpendicular to each other, what can you say about the light waves emerging from the second polarizer?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Answer 1

Indeed, this is one of the odd results in physics. A system of two polarizing filters arranged as shown below trasmits no light.

Answer 2

Answer:

The intensity of light emerging from the second polarizer is zero.

Explanation:

The angle between the axis of first polarizer and the second polarizer is 90°.

According to the law of Malus

$I = I_{0}\times Cos^{2}\Theta$

where, $I_{0}$ be the intensity of incident light on first polarizer and I be the intensity of light emerging out from second polarizer.

The intensity of light emerging out from first polarizer is given by

$I_{1}=\frac{I_{0}}{2}$

the inetnsity of light emerging out from second polarizer is given by

$I = I_{1}\times Cos^{2}90$

$I = 0$

Thus, no light waves are emerging out from the second polarizer.
